Greetings from the Tall Pines Baseball Folio
…
They don’t ever say Bienvenidos
Or Welcome to the team. . . .
Because how long
Might your ticket last?
Small-town fields to county stadiums
College grass to wooden-bat leagues
Met-league, winter leagues, Arizona Fall League
Short Season, High-A
Rookie-leaguers,
Baseball lifers.
A guy they called
‘Country Boy’
‘Greenhorn’
‘Busher’
or just say
Hey Kid. . .
Draft selections
Camp invitees,
bullpen catchers
Whether you were
A diamond in the rough,
or a flash in the pan. . .
You rode the buses
Your baseball story is theirs
Their story
Is yours.
